I have always wanted several guns in different calibers. I've looked at H&R/NEF, Rossi, even Thompson Center but they are either low quality or high priced. Resently I have seen some cheap Mauser rifles and I know they make barrels in different calibers. I know that some companies just sell actions for building rifles.
How hard would it be to build a Mauser? I'm more concerned with headspace and insuring that the action is worthy of building a rifle. How do you headspace a Mauser? The answer doesn't need to go into great detail, I just need the gist for now.
I know that I would have to purchase several tools, such as a barrel vise and a receiver wrench.
Would it be more econemical to build a Mauser, not including the cost of tools or time, over buying a Rossi or H&R/NEF? Does anyone know of a good place to buy cheap Mausers for the action and stock?
Thanks
